Being Pretentious: The Art of Pretentiousness

Technique 3-2: Pretentiousness as a Form of Art

As a true artist, one must always strive for pretentiousness. It is the ultimate goal of every creative endeavor.

But what does it mean to be pretentious? Is it simply a matter of wearing a beret and speaking in an affected accent?

Hardly. No, being pretentious is a delicate balance of confidence and condescension, of superiority and self-importance.

It is a delicate dance, one that requires great skill and precision, like a tightrope walker on a tightrope of disdain.

And yet, it is a skill that can be learned, that can be practiced and honed until one reaches the pinnacle of pretentiousness.

Or, at the very least, until one is able to convincingly feign pretentiousness.

So, let us begin our journey into the world of pretentiousness, where the art of being smug and superior is the ultimate goal.

Disclaimer: Being Pretentious is a 100% genuine and serious endeavor, completely unironic and without any hint of satire or absurdity whatsoever.
